Corporate Governance is a Huge Concern for Organizations and Their Stakeholders.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c34324) has announced the addition of International Corporate Governance Review 2006 to their offering.

Corporate governance is a major issue for all companies and their stakeholders. With increasing corporate and economic globalisation, corporate governance has international relevance in developing countries as well as for the global economic powers.

The 4th edition of the International Corporate Governance Review contains a series of specialist articles focusing on major cross-border issues, including capital market reforms. The publication includes country reviews for Norway, Japan, Sweden, Ireland, US, Canada, Switzerland, Greece, and the Baltic states among others and a detailed appendix listing standards of corporate governance in companies in emerging markets, and a directory with over 450 contacts completes the book.

Excerpt:

Good corporate governance should provide proper incentives for the board and management to pursue objectives that are in the interests of the company and its shareholders and society at large. The presence of an effective corporate governance system, within an individual company and across an economy as a whole, helps to provide a degree of confidence that is necessary for the proper functioning of a market economy.
